With the recent news that Saskatchewan has decided to keep its current logo (a sheaf of wheat), I thought Third Edge of the Sword should list the other choices that Saskatchewan was contemplating. First, lets take a read from the article:

Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz said in a press release Monday that the newly elected government had stepped away from its plans to replace the 30-year-old logo "at this time."

"This idea generated a lot of feedback and discussion throughout the province," Krawetz said in the release. "Some people like the idea. Some, however, do not."

The plan to find a new logo to iconize the booming prairie province was announced by the newly-elected Saskatchewan Party last week.

Krawetz previously said the wheat sheaf was outdated. He thought a new symbol should be found to represent the province's growth from merely an agricultural producer.

But a mission to save the sheaf hit radio talk shows and the Internet. Online polls found overwhelming opposition to the change and more than 300 residents opposing the change joined a Facebook group over the weekend.
